FORWARD
This manual covers the Digital Corn Treat, Pralinator, and Combo Kandy King (both floor models and units)
with the stationary 2174EL/ER, 2175EL,ER, 2180EL/ER, 2181EL/ER, 2183EL/ER, 2182EL/ER. You can be
very proud of your product. In addition to being an attractive "eye catcher", it contains various engineering
innovations which make it the leader in the industry. The exterior of the machine is designed and built-up to
present an attractive appearance for many years.
INSTALLATION
CHECKING SHIPMENT
Unpack the shipping crate and check thoroughly for any damage which may have occurred in
transit. Any claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Voltage for the 2174EL/ER, 2180EL/ER, 2183EL/ER is 120 volt, 60 cycle single phase. A wall receptacle is
not supplied. Only for the 2175EL/ER, 2181EL/ER, 2182EL/ER This receptacle will accept the attachment
plug on your machine and must be used. The machine will draw a maximum of 20amps. Your electrician
must finish sufficient current for the proper operation of your machine. We recommend that this machine be
fused on a line by itself.

CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION
HEAT SWITCH
This rocker switch in the “ON” position energizes the heating elements in the bottom of the kettle.
MOTOR SWITCH
With this rocker switch in the “ON” position, the agitator motor will run continuously.
PRALINATOR/CORN TREAT SWITCH
This rocker switch in the Pralinator position and the motor switch off will run the agitator motor 55 seconds
of every minute. In the Corn Treat position, the agitator motor will run 15 seconds of every minute.
HEAT CONTROL
The machine comes from the factory preset at either 280°F for Corn Treat Centers or 310°F for Pralinators.
If more or less heat is required, remove the silver hole plug or cover plate located on the front panel of the
control box. This will allow you to access the heat control adjustment potentiometer. Turn the
potentiometer clockwise to increase the temperature.
To calibrate the heat control for corn treat, Fill the mixing bowl with a one inch depth of corn oil. Use an
accurate thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil in the mixing bowl. Stir the oil while it heats.
When the oil reaches 280°F slowly turn the potentiometer counter clockwise until the buzzer sounds. If the
buzzer sounds before the temperature reaches 280°F turn the potentiometer clockwise until the buzzer
stops and continue to turn an additional 1/8 of turn.
To calibrate the digital control for Pralinator follow the above instructions except use a final oil temperature
of 310°F.
Note: The sound of the buzzer always signals temperature cut-off.
CARE AND CLEANING
STEAM CLEANING
The easiest way to clean the kettle is to pour 8 ounces of water into the kettle while it is still hot. Place the
lid back on the kettle. Let it steam for approximately ten minutes. Remove the lid and dump out the water.
You will probably have to steam the kettle twice to remove all traces of product. Releasing the draw latch
makes the mixing drum easy to remove for cleaning. The mixing drum can be taken to the sink to clean.
The cabinet of your machine should be wiped cleaned daily; or more, depending on your usage.

NEW PADDLE & HUB SEAL KIT INSTALLATION
1. Unscrew the wing bolts and remove both mix paddles.
2. Remove the old hub seal assembly.
3. Clean the area around the center hub. Clean up all food and carbon residue.
4. Remove any burrs on the top edge of the center hub. Use a fine grit emery paper to lightly sand the
surface. If the burrs are not removed, damage may occur to the hub assembly during installation.
5. Lightly lubricate the center hub of the kettle with a small amount of vegetable oil to allow for easy
installation of the hub seal assembly.
6. Slide the hub seal assembly down the agitator shaft. Apply pressure to ease the assembly over the
center hub of the kettle until it seats properly. (See diagram below.)
7. After the hub seal assembly has been properly installed, place the new mix paddle on the bottom and
one existing paddle on the top of the agitator shaft.
8. Replace the wing bolts and finger tighten.

PRALINATOR SECTION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING FROSTED NUTS
1. Set the heat controller to Pralinator temperature. (for Combo Kandy King only).
2. Set the Pralinator/Corn Treat switch to the Pralinator position (for Combo Kandy King only).
3. Make a solution of (3) parts water to (1) part Gold Medal imitation vanilla (item #4515). We
recommend making at least one gallon of this “vanilla water” (1qt. of item #4515 + 3 qts. water).
4. Measure recommended ounces of water (depending on the size of the batch you are making) for
Step 6 and a minimum of recommended ounces for Step 8.
5. Turn on the heat switch and add recommended amount of pounds of nuts. (May we suggest raw
almonds, raw pecans, or roasted peanuts with skins removed).
6. Add the contents of the package and recommended ounces of vanilla water (see below).
7. Allow to heat and mix until the buzzer sounds.
8. At the buzzer, the nuts can be finished in two ways:
a. Spray on vanilla water (see above) until the buzzer stops to produce a consistent coat with a
matte finish.
b. Pour on the recommended ounces of vanilla water (see below) to produce a glossy, variable
finish.
9. Dump the frosted nuts onto a cooling tray (such as item #4140 18” x 26” aluminum pan), separate
and allow to cool 10 minutes before serving or packaging.
Recommendations for the 12oz package of Frosted Nut Mix:
For Step 4: 6 ounces and a minimum of 2-3 ounces
For Step 5: 1¼ lbs of nuts (1 full blue cup)
For Step 8: 2 ounces of vanilla water
Recommendations for the 24oz package of Frosted Nut Mix:
For Step 4: 12 ounces and a minimum of 4-6 ounces
For Step 5: 2½ lbs of nuts (2 full blue cups)

COMBO KANDY KING SECTION
INSTRUCTIONS TO CHANGE BETWEEN
FROSTED NUTS AND CARAMEL CORN
To change between Corn Treat and Pralinator the following items must be changed:
A. Heat controller set point
B. Paddle timing switch
C. Shaft extension and Corn Treat paddles or Pralinator paddles.
D. Kettle drum
A. The set point of the heat control is changed as follows:
1. Corn Treat temperature range is 360 to 400°F.
2. Pralinator temperature range is 375 to 415°F.
To calibrate the digital control for corn treat, set the digital control set point (SP) to 400°F. Fill the mixing
bowl with a one inch depth of corn oil. Use an accurate thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil
in the mixing bowl. Stir the oil while it heats. When the oil reaches 280°F observe the temperature displayed
on the digital heat control. This temperature is the digital heat control set point (SP).
To calibrate the digital control for Pralinator follow the above instructions except set the initial SP at 415°F
and use a final oil temperature of 310°F.
B. Set the paddle timing switch on the front panel on the machine to either Corn Treat or Pralinator. Corn
Treat, the paddles turn for 15 seconds of every minute. Pralinator, the paddles turn for 55 seconds of every
minute.
C. Use the shaft extension and two paddles for the Corn Treat. Note the shaft extension mounts to the
fixed shaft in the machine with the shorter thumb screw. Note the shaft extension is not used to the
Pralinator.
D. Mount the large drum for the Corn Treat. Mount the small drum for the Pralinator.
E. After the change over, follow the instructions on the mix package or turn to pages 11 for caramel corn
and page 17 for frosted nuts for mixing instructions.
